in lieu of anything really interesting to say

I totally want to stage a modern-dress production of Woodstock where the fashionable courtly types dress like this.

It would be awesome.

You've seen http://www.yosa.com right?

... and maybe http://www.bellesdomain.co.uk/, then We Will Rock You?
The Bohemians/GaGas would be, um, interesting.

Thank you! It was fun to write. I can't wait to see the photos!

[angevin2]

Yay for pictures! Those are wonderful. I love that I can tell what's going on in most of them despite not actually knowing most of the people or how it was cast. ;)

Also, the purple hair looks good on you!

I'd watch that. I'd have Season 3 Slings and & Arrows flashbacks in the process, but I'd watch it.

[angevin2]

Hee! Better than Season 2 flashbacks, I think. ;)

The thing about Woodstock is that it is completely on crack. Like most early modern history plays, actually, but most people's experience with them stops with Shakespeare and Marlowe, which are considerably less cracktacular than others of the period.

But of course -- it needs to be staged with that costume (and not yet another set in the late Victorian period).

[angevin2]

I don't think you could properly do Woodstock in late Victorian dress!

At any rate, I tend to share your opinion on Victorian-dress Shakespeare, which seems most often to signify a certain lack of imagination...

My husband and I like to go to the Stratford Festival in Ontario every year (if we can manage it). Nine times out of ten, the costumes are late Victorian. . . .

*yawn*

Yeah, I've noticed that, too, when I've been to Stratford. One time I saw a Regency-dress Hamlet there that I'm pretty sure was designed that way so that they could reuse stuff from the previous year's Pride and Prejudice.
